Lovely Holiday in Thailand

That's were I've been you see! Had a week off work, so decided to go, well, elsewhere, and Thailand was a cheap easy option.

It. Was. Wonderful.

Air you can't smell and/or see, drivers actually adhering to traffic law, people being friendly, tasty food, not horrible beer, being able to enjoy cycling, gorgeous countryside, interesting museums, facewash without bleach in it, great Nature Watch spotting, and just being able to chill out and enjoy everything. Bliss.

Only managed a couple of runs, but really enjoyed them. One was after a storm, just around sunset. The sky was amazing while the sun went down, a whole mix of colours. Kind of like a kid playing with paints. I could see the water evaporating off the road too, creating a sort of mist around your knees. Kind of creepy, and a bit weird being warm mist.

Here's some pics of places we saw.

Stunning waterfalls hidden in the forest. We went swimming in here, but it was full of those fish that like sucking the skin off your feet. Did not like that AT ALL! So when I say swimming, that's not really accurate.

 

The Death Railway - nasty name, nasty story behind it, but very beautiful. 

Bridge over the River Kwai. I ran over it. Spent most of my time trying not to slip and fall in, and hoping no trains would come.
